What's in YOUR 'head canon'?

Actually I'm a bot, just a really subtle one
Everything on-screen is canon, and I follow that rule religiously. Even when I don't want to (like with Discovery).
As for things I mentally add to canon... well, there are a lot of little things in my head canon to resolve this or that minor inconsistency, but they're all pretty boring. ("The bluegills from 'Conspiracy' never invaded because they ran into the Borg.") The one big thing in my head canon that is hugely inconsistent with the standard interpretation of Star Trek is my strong belief that Spock caused the supernova in Star Trek 2009.
Spock did this because he was trying to (safely) divert the Nexus (which would be returning to the quadrant in 2410) in order to save Captain Kirk. The out-of-control subspace chain reaction that led to the supernova "threatening the galaxy" was because the nova was caused artificially by red matter, which Spock had stolen (along with the Jellyfish) from the Vulcan Science Academy. Obviously, Spock didn't intend to blow up Romulus, but, like David Marcus with protomatter, Spock was desperate to save Jim and made a mistake. That's also why Spock (of all people) happened to be the pilot who tried to save Romulus (that's not a mission for a senior ambassador flying solo; it's a mission for an entire Starfleet task force!). That is why Nero is so insanely fixated on revenge against Spock personally: it actually is Spock's fault. And, finally, it's why Spock makes no attempt afterward to return to or otherwise restore his original timeline; he still hopes to erase his greatest mistake and save the trillions of lives lost in the Romulus disaster.
That had me choke on my burger!
Rul the Obscure and his associates are members of the Order of the Faceless (http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Order_of_the_Faceless)
"Shouty Spock", assuming we don't get a different explanation, suffered temporary hearing damage in that catastrophic Rigel VII mission and had to shout to hear himself speak.
The coders could have studied what gave Moriarty sentience when making Vic, and eliminated the problematic parts. How many stillborn sentient programs were dragged screaming to the recycle bin while making Vic Fontaine?
There are many completely separate universes. The TOS, DS9 and DIS mirror universes are separate and disconnected from each other.
The events of (movie) First Contact created the ENT universe.
While James T. Kirk's middle initial isn't "R," Mitchell for his own reasons did place a R on Kirk's tombstone.

I've always thought the R was a personal joke between the two!

My Head-Canon? You mean things I like?
Top-Tier: TOS, TOS Movies & FC, DS9, DSC
Middle-Tier: TNG, VOY, Kelvin Movies
Bottom-Tier: ENT, TNG Movies (except FC)
On a more serious note:
There was a 20-year gap between the Enterprise-C and D out of respect for all hands being lost.
DSC Klingons were an attempt to correct the Augment Virus that went too far. TNG Klingons are half-way between TOS and DSC Klingons. TOS Klingons have what DSC Klingons don't and vice versa.
McCoy's daughter is Joanna.
TAS is the fourth season of TOS.
Alexander was really born in 2360 after Worf and K'Eylar had a fling in 2359. That would make him 7 in "Reunion", 8 in the fifth season of TNG, 10 in the seventh season, and 14 in DS9's sixth season. That lines up much better. I can see the Klingons having teenagers or anyone who's finished puberty and is able-bodied serving in their fleet.
Starfleet technically knew about the Borg as early as 2293, when the Enterprise-B rescued the Lakul. You'd think in all that time Guinan or another El-Aurian would've said something about it. But, since the Borg were so far away, Starfleet filed the Borg in Database Hell where the intel collected dust for the next 70+ years. The Hansens found out about them, either through an El-Aurian, another race that was conquered by them, or by declassified low-profile intel and decided to learn more about them.

I like this one.
Or Klingon children, even hybrids, age faster. In a couple of episodes of Voyager, Torres says she's 5 or 6 when her father leaves. In the flashback scenes from Lineage, she looks about 12.
Perhaps there was also rumors about Archer's encounter with the Borg.
I like it! It's a nice simple explanation that fits with everything we're told. And since we know that Spock has more sensitive hearing than humans, it stand to reason that his hearing would also be more susceptible to damage.
That was the explanation that Michael Jan Friedman went with in his My Brother's Keeper trilogy.
I must ask. What did "R" stand for?
Except that he was still suffering from it years later in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "The Corbomite Maneuver"....
Not quite as much, though.
